Proyecto 67 is going through one of its most difficult moments as a musical band.
In April, the group from the Dominican Republic announced that Arturo, one of its members, had died of Covid-19.
Many remember him from this videoclip that contributed to the band's growing fame.

“Unfortunately, the day we had to leave for the villa (to film a new video) was also the day we had to bury our brother, Arturo.”
Proyecto 67 took off as a religious music band in 2014.

“We saw that the Catholic Church needed new music, music to draw in more young people. So we sat down and realized that it was really important that we take the next step, which was to define who we would be and how we would express that identity.”
Their style is nothing like traditional Catholic music.
They understand that it's not simply about following trends, but rather about making music that they enjoy.
And they have proof that their music is helping many people.

“This isn't just something that we think. It's something we've seen. Because we've had many experiences and heard many testimonials from young people who have drawn closer to us.”
They just released “Mi identidad” (My identity), a song in which they ask themselves if they are Christlike.

“God's plans are perfect. And no matter how good we think our own ideas or plans are, in the end, what God decides for us will be much better than anything we could have imagined.”
Proyecto 67 dreams of performing live again, after months of canceling concerts because of the pandemic.
They want to continue the mission they began with Arturo, which is to communicate a message that can improve people's lives.
